What's next for Bernie's grassroots army?

? “Of the 88 percent that chose Bernie Sanders, 98 percent of them told us to endorse the nominee,” says Chamberlain, who also believes that Sanders should “continue to lead the political revolution. If he needs to set up his own organization to do that, then that’s a smart move.”

So far, though, Sanders has said nothing about his plans. Although all of the activists I spoke with would welcome his involvement, whatever happens after the primaries, four main groups have already begun to form:

• The Occupy Democrats, who see the Democratic Party as ripe for a takeover.

• Brand New Congress, an effort launched last month to elect a Congress in 2018 that will “enact Bernie’s program” regardless of who’s in the White House.

• The Working Families Party, which in many states provided the ground troops for the Sanders campaign and is now benefiting from—and struggling to digest—a huge influx of new recruits.

• The People’s Summit, an alliance of National Nurses United and People for Bernie—the latter a coalition of activists and online groups like Vets for Bernie and Jews for Bernie—that has called a “gathering of the tribes” in Chicago on June 17–19 and represents more of the “movement” elements of the Sanders campaign

3. I will support Bernie no matter what he does next.

BUT - I will not support Clinton, not for anybody or at anybody's request or dictate.

5. The first thing they need to be prepared to do is ...

March on Philly!! I'm sure there will be lots of Berners there -- but it would be truly awesome and inspiring if they actually broke the bank numbers-wise.

Who's planning on going?

I'm a left-coaster, so it doesn't look likely for me, but I'm still scheming and would love to make it.
